The Poisoned Pen
"[...]glittering brass knocker, which gleamed out severely at you as you approached through a hedge of faultlessly trimmed boxwoods. Senator, or rather former Senator, Willard met us in the library, and a moment later his daughter Alma joined him. She was tall, like her father, a girl of poise and self-control. Yet even the schooling of twenty-two years in rigorous New England self-restraint could not hide the very human pallor of her face after the sleepless nights and nervous days since this trouble had broken on her placid existence. Yet there was a mark of strength and determination on her face that was fascinating. The man who would trifle with this girl, I felt, was playing fast and lo...
Of Starfish Tides and Other Tales
The seventeen stories in Of Starfish Tides and Other Tales take place at the edges of this world, some veering more deeply into it, others towards worlds on the other side. With elements of fairy tales and folklore, and occasional forays into dystopian futures, its constant theme is a search for home and belonging, and the darkness at the heart of that search. Women stalk through these pages looking for the keeper of human hearts and a cruel map that will answer only to its true owner. Faeries are more likely to seek revenge or a human soul than they are to grant wishes. A man washes up on a pebbled beach, his only means of communication being the haunting songs he plays on an old piano. Els...
Stealing Time
Father Time's son, Zeit Geist, must sacrifice a mortal's lifetime to the Fates each New Year's Eve. Last year-inexplicably, really-he made an 11:59 substitution. The Fates are pissed and they're after his mortal Hannah. With the year ending, he ought to figure out why he'd saved her-and why he keeps doing it. Following an unlucky year, Hannah Lyons needs a week's holiday in a lodge to unwind. What she gets is near-death experiences and a sexy immortal who can't avoid kissing her, but might have to kill her. After all, even Zeit can't hold back time indefinitely.
Inkurable
Phee has breast cancer. As heart-breaking as it is, she's determined to be strong so her friends don't worry. They're a family, so if she hurts, they hurt, and she can't allow that. But when lines start to blur between her and her handsome surgeon, trying to hold everything together suddenly feels like the real fight.
Taking Time
Tempus fugit. Time flies...unless you're Tempus Halt, Father Time's son. Day in and day out are the same, except for New Year's Eve when he steals the life of a mortal on behalf of the Fates. This year marks his first failure to stay the monotonous course. A mortal's kiss and her insistence on taking the place of his year's sacrifice stalled out everything. Now, Tempus has to keep her alive for a year so his sacrifice isn't wasted, but that's the only reason-definitely. One of these crazy grim reapers stole Lacey Carpenter's estranged father's life two years ago. She'll give her own life rather than letting it happen again. It backfires when Tempus doesn't actually kill her, and they have to spend the year together. She's falling for an immortal who stops time, not just to save her life, but also to ruin her dates and steal her books. This can never work and fate is just not on her side-in fact, they'd really like her dead before Tempus falls for her in return.

"Work hard, play hard, love hard..." Nothing is sexier than someone who knows what they want and has the confidence go after it. This anthology is crammed full of hot romances featuring those kinds of rough-around-the-edges alpha personalities-stories about the kind of men and women who ride horses during the day and their partners at night, who speak few words but mean every one of them, and who would never break their own personal code of honor. We're talking about cowboys... and cowgirls. This anthology contains seven romances with a Western theme that run the gamut from sweet to sizzling.
